The King deigned to propose me as mccessor to 'the throne ; you confirmed that choice by an elettion, free and unanimous, and his Majesty this•darindis solubly binds the ties which already attach me. to you. So many favours, such esteem and confidence, impose on me the greatest obligations ; I feel them . sensibly, and am firmly resolved to fulfil them. Bred in camps, I bring you a'fronk and loyal soul, an ab solute devotedness to the King, my august father, an ardent desire to do every thing for the happiness of my new country; . with sUch intentions I hope to do good. " Sound policy, that, alone which the laws of Goa authorise,must lAave for its basis justice and truth ; such are the principles of the King : they shall also be mine. 1 have beheld war close at hand ; I know all its ravages ; there is no' conquest which can console a country for the blood of its children shed in a foreign land. I have seen the great Emperor of the French, so often crowned with the laurels of vi6nry, surrounded by his invincible armies, sigh after the olive of peace. Yes, Gentlemen, peace is alone the glorious objet of a wise and enlightened Government ;- it is not the extent of a-state which constitutes its force and independence ; it is its laws, its industry, 'its.couunerce, and above all its national spirit. Sweden; it is true, has sustained great losses; but the honour of the Swedish name has 'not ,suf fered the least attaint. Let us submit, Gentlemen, io'the deci•ees of P'iov.idence; and let us recoiled that it, has left us a soil sufficient, to supply Our 'wants, and iron to defend it."

LOVELL took an objeEtion to the power of the Court to pass judgment during the suspension of . the Royal, Authority, but the Court passed it noticed, and ordered him to be taken away in pur suance; of his sentence. • A Morning Paper which has up9fi,all occasions displayed. an, eagerness to censure the- conduct of Lord WELLINGTON and an extraordinary propensity to entertain the most desponding views respedling the Campaign, has this day : asserted, with great ap , pearance of exUltation, that the Ministerial Pape'rs have altered their tone, and the last letters . from Portugal are " not filled with the same promises of success as heretofore." Now, supposing, for a mo ment, that this were the fad (which we dens') we are entirely at a hiss to conceive whit ground of triumph it can afford the Paper in question'over its oponents.—The. opinions, the hopes, the fears, of persons in . this Country respecting the result of the 'Campaign ,in .Portugal, must be founded upon the accounts of those who are or the spot. It is ad mitted that the Letters were filled with promises of complete success : surely . then it is not extraordi nary that they should inspire sanguine expeCtations. We must indeed do the Paper in question the jus tice to acknowledge, that upon this, as indeed upon all other occasions; it has done every thing in; its power prevent the .public from being diSappointed, by indulging the most gloomy anticipations, and even when any success has been obtained, it is ' equally ready to repress any exuberance 'of' public joy, by, describitig if in the mostunfavourablepoint of view. Upon the present occasion, holkever, the Paper in question has been rather hasty in its at tacks upon its Contemporaries, because we are not aware of any , alteration of tone in those papers which are friendly to 'the present Ministers. Speaking for ourselves, we can 54, , 1y assert, that - since the period of the battle of flusaco, our, opinion and our language has 'been 'uni form. We thought then, and we think still, that MASSENA, by crossing' the Mondego, and fol , lowing Lord WELLINGTON-10 the front of his strong position aced with great rashness. We thought then;_ and we think still, that MASSENA will not be able to force the position occupied by. the Allies, and that he cannot retreat without considerable loss and inevitable disgrace. Our tone therefore has not been' altered, because, our opinion has not changed. But it is now said, that MASSENA is do longer con fined to the ground which his Army occupies„ and that he has the- fertile and untouched pro `vince of Beira open' to him. We have'- never' stated that MASSENA'S army was confined to the ground it stood 'upon; but we do deny that the province of Beira is open to him ;, that is to say, that he can draw provisions from it to sup- , ply him in his present position, because the force under Gen. SILVI-ERA, Colonels' THANT and Win- SON, are in complete .possession of that province. Whether, if MASSENA were to abanden the whole objed of the campaign, and, retreat towards the, North, he could maintain - himself there, we are not ,competent to decide; but such retreat would be 'a .most unequivocal acknowledgment of defeat. It is' entertaining to hear the Paper in question talk of MASSENA having the fertile and untouched province of 13(-ira open to him.—Vntouche I !—ln what part of Portugal were the allied and French Armies from the beginning of the Campai•;l to, ib,o 'end [ of September the • zintou . chert province pt' guira.

MERMAN.—A letter from Monmouth, dated the. 13th instant, says—" About tight o'clock yes terday morning ; two fishermen going down the , river in their truckles, fishing for salmon, found their net much heavier than usual, and, on coming ; to shore, they found it contained a huge monster, the upper part of it bearing the exact resemblance of a man, the middle of a beast, spotted like a leopard, and,a tail like a fish, the hair ora his head green— he has red eyes, and tusks five inches and a half in length, and measures from head !to tail till:teen' feet and three quarters. He is now 'deposited in the Town-hall, for the inspealion of the cNrions.” The anxiety OBLIONNPARTE to remove every re-' publican symbol from the eyes' of his subjetts, sitews that be leads a life of Miserable apprehension, not withstanding all the military poWer by which he is surrounded. But he owes his seenrity to the hor rors of the fievolution,• which must still haunt the memory of Frenchmen in general, not to the mere indications of repnhicart principles.
